The Views Of Ex-senator Camden

WASHINGTON, August 31.--ExSena-
tor Camden, of West Virginia, while
here today, stated that there has
been but little change in the political
situation in that State since the cleo
ton of his friend, Mr.. Faulkner, to
the Senate as his successor MIR.
Camden says there will probably be
no difficulty about Senator Faulkner
securing his seat in the Senate, even
if Mr.. Lucas should insist upon con-
testing it. The: people of West Vir-
GINA, that is the democrats, will sup
port Mr.. Faulkner, while Mr.. Lucas
has but very small following. He
says that Mr.. Lucas, Governor VIII
son and nearly all of those gentlemen
who bolted the regular democratic
caucus senatorial nominee are politi-
cally dead so far as West Virginia is
concerned. They have placed them
selves outside of the democratic par
ty, and it is doubtful whether they
can secure recognition by the repub
licans. He says Cleveland is more
popular in that State than he was
some time ago, because the honest,
Woodworking people believe him to
be sincere in his pledge to the people
as we'll as in his promises to his par
ty. He has given them an honest
and judicious administration SO far,
and they are willing to trust him
futher. There were people in the
State who were inclined to find fault
with him because he has not removed
the republicans fast enough. When
those who are grumbling are brought
face to face with the fact that up to
date there is but one republican hold.
ing federal Office in the State, all
the others having been displaced,
they change their fault-fndings to
shouts of praise for Cleveland. Mr..
Camden says he believes the demo
cratic party in his State is working
together tremendously and will be
prepared to give the democratic tick
ct fair majority in the next national
election. The democrats in West
Virginia, however, have but small
margin to work upon. Under ordin:
airy circumstances he believes the
State is democratic, but with the tar
if question as the leading issue the
State must be placed under the head
of doubtful. In conclusion, the
ex-senator said that the final battle
ground for the next presidential cleo
ton will be New York, and West
Virginia probably where it
was in the last contest.

Fined For Hog Beating.

William Bitter and Joseph Riley
were before Esquire Daniel E. Wood
ruff, on Thursday, charged by the S.
P. G. A. of cruelty beating two hogs
on the 21st inst. Ex Sheriff Hampton,
Benz. Ayres and Officer Fithian offered
testimony which convicted the young
men. Bitter was fined $7.97 and Riley,
$IS7.
Both young men were extremely
bitter in their language toward Officer
Fithian, claiming that he had made
the charge because of grudge. At
first they refused to pay the fine, and
thought they would ''go over" but
later changed their minds and paid
the money. Bitter remarked when
he paid the fine that "there was money
enough there to buy car load of
hogs" They paid their respects to
newspapers in unmistakable terms,
and gave the reporters to understand
they were not to spread it. Of course
the reporters won't.

Saw Mill At Centreton
Destroyed.

A terrible confagration visited the
little village of Centreton Thursday
morning, totally destroying it's most
valued industry, that of the saw mill
and hay forks lnanufactory of Mr.. J..
r. Fitzhugh.
The mill destroyed was built entirely
new, having been erected last October.
The lower portion of the building was
devoted to the saw mill, while in the
upper portion of the mill the MANU-
featuring of hay forks was carried on.
Early in the morning the building was
discovered to be in a mass of flames,
having caught from the Office stove.
1t took but short time to burn, so
that 1t was soon beyond all hope of
saving, and though everything posi-
BILE was done, the progress of the flames
could not be stayed, and soon not a
vestige of anything was left standing.
The grist mill standing near by was
slightly damaged by the fire burning
the caves and roof.

Boys Beware!

Some of the urchins about this city
will needs feel the weight of the law
before they learn to obey it. We have
repeatedly spoken of the dangers OF
sling Shots" and still it seems that
nothing is done to prevent it.
What came near proving a serious
accident happened Monday. Mrs
Eleanor Ogden, living on Franklin
street, was hanging out carpet in her
yard when a stone from a sling shot,
in the hands Of boy, struck her with
considerable force on the forehead
Smarting from the blow, she turned,
and Immediately another came, strik-
ing the fence near her. The boy
throwing the stones was trying to kill
bird in tree. Boys, it is dangerous
sport.

Death OF Thos. D. Glaspell.

Our esteemed friend, Thomas d..
Glaspell, of Greenwich Township, died
Thursday at his home near Bayside,
from the effects of the paralytic stroke
received few days since. Mr.. Glas-
pell was the father of Enos E. Glaspell,
the meat dealer, at Greenwich, and
John Glaspell, Principal of the public
school at Marricetown. He was an
excellent man, always ready with a
good word and smile for every one.
He had many friends in the community
where he lived so many years, and in
Bridgeton, where he was we'll known.
For long time Mr.. Glaspell devoted
his time to farming, but of late years
he paid much attention to peach
culture, and became one of the most
successful growers in Cumberland
County. He will be missed by the
farmers among whom he haslong been
a prominent figure.

Death of Miss Ada e. Elwell.


Miss Ada E. Elwell, daughter of Mrs.
Sarah and the late Robert Elwell,
died Thursday night at 8 o'clock at her
home on North Pearl st. Miss ElweH
was born in Centreville, twenty-sa&
years ago. Her parents moved to this
city several years since, her father dy-
ing soon after. A short time after she
lost her brother, leaving but herself
and mother. She became amember of
Central Church, and has always been
consistent Christian, living g. most
exemplary life, and never, in all of her
suffering, complaining of her lot. For
a number of months past Miss HweN
has been confined to the house, beirg
first taken with severe cold, which
afterward resulted in an abcess IN her
side. Not long since, her case became
more complicated, and she grew rapid
ly worse, until death relieved her OF
her sufferings.
She had made warm and devoted
friends since her residence in this city
who are much saddcned, by her death.
The funeral services were held at the
residence on Monday morning next;
the interment to be at Olivet Cemetery.

Attempted Burglary.

Thursday morning shortly after four
o'clock, an attempt was made by some
person or persons to enter and rob the
segar store of James Keen, on South
Laurel street. Who ever it was had d
key which fitted perfectly, and as
the burglar or burglars were about to
turn the lock, they were frightened off
and fled down Laurel street. 1t could
not be seen who they were. This
seems like very bold business, as an
electric light is right near the store,
and the block in which the store is
situated is as light as day. The dep
redators should fall into the hands of
the officers of the law, and made to
account for their misdeeds. There is
entirely too much such work going on,
and most strenuous efforts should be
made to break it up.

Another Chimney Fire.

The first day of this month haes
enough experience Friday to make
everybody remember it. Beside the
terrible snow storm, there was an
alarm of fire about half-past three.
The fire gong pealed out in clarion
tones that somewhere there was fire.
Quick the firemen gathered, and in a
twinkling the hose carriage and engine
were run out and on their way to the
scene of confiagration. The directions
took them to Lincoln street in the
Third ward, and upon turning the
corner at Atlantic street, the sight
they saw was about five hundred men,
women and children, more or less, all
looking up at the roof of the residence
of Aaron Nichols, owned by John
Cheesman. Seated on the roof was a
young man. Occasionally he would
throw handful of coarse salt down a
smoking chimney. This then told the
tale, it was chimney on fire. That
was all. Silently the fire laddies turned
about and went to the engine house,
where considerable time was spent in
cleaning up very dirty fire apparatus,
made so by the wet streets. The fire
in the chimney was soon extingulshed,
and the city settled down to its nor
mai quiet.

three have already been sold. I'm

Something that attracts the attention
of almost every person is a half pint
flask in the Laurel street window of
Hengers tobacco emporium. In the
bottle is a full rigged ship made of
eolored glass. which was placed there
after the bottle was made. 1t is a
thing Of beauty and is the property of
Jacob Duffield. 1t is quite curiosity.
